That is until she started disappearing between the pages of her books!!:D<BR/><BR/>The feminine hygiene thing was easy because she automatically assumed that grownups needed Pampers too! By the time she figured out, I had worked an acceptable (to her) for her. As for watching TV while they read, wait till they join you and start asking questions. Then you have to start watching what you watch on TV.Aparna Balasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989967318453941084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-41921558540549255792009-03-13T03:32:00.000-04:002009-03-13T03:32:00.000-04:00Thanks for the 101 on Bong nomenclatures as well a...Thanks for the 101 on Bong nomenclatures as well as reading for children! :)<BR/>I am also a huge fan of children reading since I grew up loving books and still do.

You shouldn't even try to teach him reading or anything like that.<BR/>I am not hugely experienced but at this age they learn from play I guess.

I started reading when I was very young. infact most of the time to shut me up my parents would give me few books and I would sit in one corner and read for hours. I love to read but these days due to work pressure I am not able to do lots of reading as before. nothing can beat those hours of pleasure when u were young (not that i am calling myself old;) without any worry abt deadlines and rush hours.Siahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874841151742437150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-14743345088835555882009-03-12T09:30:00.000-04:002009-03-12T09:30:00.000-04:00what an interesting and heartwarming post..your li...what an interesting and heartwarming post..your little one is a real bright spark, love her stories..and yes,it's not smart to compete with a star like her:)delhibellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457393393138391936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-79654009717021166722009-03-12T03:38:00.000-04:002009-03-12T03:38:00.000-04:00Hey Sandeepa u're mistaken.
